Los Poblanos Community Garden

Community Farming in the Land of Enchantment!

On Sunday morning, Michelle wanted to work on the row she's rented, and the row she adopted, at Los Poblanos Community Garden. I accompanied her.

Michelle prepared the rows for mowing, moved some plants, and watered others.

Michelle works on her rows as the Johnson Grass encroaches from the edges.

Johnson Grass is a pretty, non-native grass (it's from California) that works real well for erosion control, but is the bane of NM farmers, because it's very difficult to uproot.

There were quite a few Canadian Geese nearby, who flew over us while we worked and as hot air balloons floated by. We could hear Sandhill Cranes behind the surrounding stand of Johnson Grass, but we couldn't see them.
